Overview

Dive into 'Das Viertel', Bremen's liveliest, most contested, and most independent neighborhood. On this tour, you will discover the story of how a colorful group of students, artists, and working-class families resisted the urban planners in the 1970s to save their home. From Germany's first program cinema to legendary protest crossings and cultural strongholds of the grassroots movement – you will explore the fine, constant balancing act between radical, alternative roots and modern gentrification. Discover the hidden stories behind the facades of the Bremen houses and experience the raw, beating heart of Bremen street culture.
